nected with a base plate 3. rlfh-e outer'marginal portion of each of the plates 8 has direct contact from above Vwith the upper and inwardly disposed flange 1'al of a member 1 and is held thereto by a clamping plate 4. Thisrplate 4 underlies the Vplate 3 with a portion underlying th-e flange 1a. Coacting with the inner portions of the plates 8 and 4 are the clamping bolts 5 which, upon proper manipulation, effect the desired and secure anchoring of a-plate 3 to a sid-emeniber 1.` rlhe portion of the plate 4 underlying the flange 1a has threaded therethrough from below a binding screw 6 for contact with the flange 1a to provide further means for maintaining the pla-te 3 in applied or working position. Y

Snugly fitting within the bearing 'sleeve 2 is a sleeve 7 towhich is welded the lower end portion of a standard or upright 8. As herein disclosed, this standard or upright 8 isof channel formation and eachv of its side flanges 8 has its lower portion cut away in a manner to assure-close contact of the standard or upright 8 with the'peripheral surface of the sleeve 7. It is to'be'further noted that Y when the standard or uprightl 8 is in substantially a vertical position, said standard orupright is arranged substantially entirely to one side ofthe vertical radius Vof the sleeve 7 and with the lower portion of the. standard or upright 8 in direct contact for a distance substantially one-quarter' around the periphery ofthe sleeve 7.

Snugly engagedwithin the sleeve7 is ay bushing 9 of bronze or other desired material and directed through this bushing 9 is a transversely disposed winding shaft S. rllhis shaft S is common to the mountings .for both of the standards or uprights 8.

This particular mounting of each of the' bearings 2 and the connection therewith yof an upright or standard 8 is su-ch rto impose all load carried by the upright or standard together with the weight thereof directly to the side members 1 and free of the shaft S so that said shaftV SV may be rotated-when desired with a minimumof resistance. .Y

The forward upper portion of the wall of each of the bearings 2 iscut out, as at 10, to permit the desiredconnection of an upright or standard 8 with a sleeve 7 and to vpermit ,such upright or standard to have requisite swinging movement within the bearing 2 as required upon the desired lifting of the body B.

The sleeve 7 carries .an upstanding tube 11 directed through the wall of said sleeve and which is providedat itsouter end with suitable means, as at-12, to permit coupling 'therewith of a grease gun or alemite nozzle so that suitable lubricant may be applied.

The bushing 9 togetherrwith the sleeve 7 are also provided therethrough at suitable pointswith the openings 14 to facilitate the proper application or distribution of such lubricant.-

The lower portion of each of the standards or uprights 8 carries a'rearwardly directed plate 15, the outer portion of which is disposed on such curvature as to have lclose contact with the periphery of thebearing 2 which is cylindrical in cross sect-ion. 15 serves to substantially close the cut out portion lOof the bearing 2 and especially when'the standard or upright is in its normal vertical position..v The tube 11 is also disposed through this plate 15.

The shaft extends outwardly beyond the bearings 2l and 'each of said extendedportions constitutes a windingdrum 16 with which coacts an end portion of a winding cable 17.

`One end portion of this cable 17 is secured or connected to the drum 16 in any desired man-l One extended end portion of the sha-ft Sk outwardly-of the drum 16 is provided with a suitable meehanism,generally indicated at 23J for rotating the shaft S as desired to effect the desired raising and lowering ofthe forward end portion of the body B, said mechanism 23being'also adapted for manual operation 'through the medium of a hand crank 24,

although it is to befunderstood thatv if de-V sired suitable power operating'means may be provided.

Y Each of the bearings 2O is carried-by a Vplate 25 slidablyheld Vtothe upper portion of an Aupright or standard 8 by theV bolts 26 or the like directed through a suitably positioned lslot 27 in the upright or standard 8 and the lower portion of the plate 25 carries an `outstanding lug 28 with which directly contacts from below a shank 29. This shank 29 isrfreely Ydirected through a cross plate 30 carried by the upper portionof the 'Y This plate upright or standard 8 and threaded upon said i shank 29 abovepand below the plate 30 are theholding nuts 31. By propervmanipulation of the nuts 31 the plate -25 may be adjusted as desired in a direction lengthwise of theupright or standard 8 to maintain taut the cable 17 and thus assuring maximum efficiency of the apparatus. Y

It is to `be noted that the pulleys 18 are freely mounted upon Vthe shaft 19 so that there willbek a relative independent rotation of such pulleys Vand whichV is desirable in the event of' lateral turning or displacement of the body B during either a lifting or lowering movement. It is also to benoted that the shaft 19 is freely directed through the bearings 20 so that in the event 'eitheryor portions of the to hold the body B firm toits :4a end of the body B and the cab l' standards 8 in order to obstruction to the idesired adjustments ofthe e155 i From the thought to be obvious that al hoisting appayratus constructed-in accordance with my inis ysusceptible "haberme pulleys .S11-@umana upon the lined thereto a drum 3 3l upon whichvwindthej oppositelendportionsof acable34, said endr Vcable 34 winding upon the drum 33 in a ofthe cable 17 so that as thecable 17 so winds upon the cable 34 will correspondingly unwind and vice versa.. f

Itis also to be noted that the pulleys 18 are rearwardlyoffset with respect tothe uprights or standards 8 and this arrangement Ycauses the body B when in lowered position to crowd the cables 17, ,thus-pushing-:thefuprights or V'standards 8 close against the cushions 32' and maintaining said uprights or standards rigid in their substantially normalvertical positions. yThis is allolwed in view of the `fact that the uprights or standards 8 are disjposed between the .forward end of the body and the cab C, the spacing between saidy forward C when the body B is in its loweredV position being'suiicient to accommodate the uprights or standards. l f It' is also to be noted that the flanges 8. v terminate a desired distance inwardly of "the upper or outer ends .of the uprights or offer nohindrance or plates 25.
